how do you sex DHL's

if need of more pics just ask

ZUG-it looks like the top picture is out of focus across the legs and the anal area is shadowed in such a way that it sort of covers everything, but looking at this, I am thinking you have two ladies, as the males in these species have enlarged post anal scales and also the femoral pores ar usually more pronounced in males, So just guessing on the top one but between the very sparse and diminutive femoral pores I want to say they are both females.... Maybe someone else might want a shot at it, the bottom one is a female. Or at least I don't see enlarged post anal scales.....

Hey, I don't know if this is too late,
but with all due respect to Reptoman who is a wizard of lizard, I do believe the lizard in the second picture is a male. I note the enlarged post-anals. They're small, but I think you have young lizards. The top one is a smidge out of focus, but it looks to be a female. Maybe another pic can help us with this mystery.

regards,

Both are males. The hemipene bulges are the primary characteristic are are prominent.
